About The Project

A web app built with Python/Django that enables users to remove background from images using pre-trained AI model. It allows users to download the final result image with a transparent background.

It does well for most images that doesn't have messy background but I'm sure you won't expect photoshop like results :)

Deployment

Note: The project is production ready and can be easily deployed. But it requires good amount of resource to run ML models used by rembg in the cloud. At the moment, I'm unable to deploy the django version for free.

So I used Streamlit to deploy the main script with enchanced functionality. Check here
